is eating from a dented can safe ?

I assume no its not, but i've acquired a can that's dented along the way somewhere, and i'm unsure if i want to eat from it.. I have eaten from them before when i've had to because it was the only cans of stuff i had.. once one tasted a lot like rust so i didn't eat too much of that before throwing it..
What do you say ? eat it or throw it ?
oh.. and .. what's your favourite canned goods ?
